Chris is an English singer/songwriter who plays a lot of great covers and some original stuff on his acoustic guitar (Johnny Cash, Rolling Stones, Beatles, Cat Stevens, Van Morrison, etc.). He also plays with a big group of guys on Thursdays and Saturdays at Bad Boys on the Beach between Calles 2 and 4. I think they start around 4 or 5 ish. You can also find music most nights at Bourbon Street, 5th avenue between 6 and 8 (but I think it starts fairly late) and Fah Bar at the hotel Siesta Fiesta, 5th avenue between 8th and 10th.
Quite late, also, you can find music at the Jam Session, which gets rave reviews from friends, but I've never been (I cannot stay out too late). This is, I think at 5th avenue and Calle 40 or 42 (anyone know?). Another place I've never been to but heard is good is the Cuban place at the Paseo Mall on the very south end of 5th avenue.
Can you tell I like live music?
Heather, many thanks the Friday night session at Pinche Gringo sounds good, maybe see you there, but not this Friday it will probably take us 2 or 3 days to get over the 15hrs or so travel !..
